US House backs Russia sanctions, Ukraine aid, in latest blow to Trump
The bipartisan measure would provide more than $1 billion in aid and tighten sanctions on Russia, but it still faces a difficult Senate vote.
- On Friday, the House passed the Ukraine Support Act, voting 226-195 to authorize $8 billion in military finance loans and extend the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative through 2027 despite opposition from President Donald Trump's administration.
- California Rep. Kevin Kiley, an Independent who typically votes with Republicans, forced the vote by becoming the 218th signature on a discharge petition last year, bypassing normal procedural obstacles.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson urged Republicans to "give President Trump room to negotiate with Russia," yet 18 Republicans joined Democrats to support the bill, including Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, Michael McCaul, and Don Bacon.
- With the Republican Party holding a majority in the Senate, the bill's approval remains unlikely despite the House vote, leaving the future of Russian sanctions and military aid uncertain.
- President Donald Trump stated that without military support from Washington and the weapons he personally provided at the start of the war, Ukraine would have ceased to exist within "1 2 days.
